I've heard the same "humble and skilled" description about Min, too. However, most of whom I know who worked with either of them at work knows they arn't exactly the most "amiable" folks to work directly with or for. Their true colors and attitudes are reflected by how far they moved up the corporate ladder (to the top). You arn't suggesting they got there by being cool? Some of the quotes I have heard attributed to them don't suggest anything more than you'd expect to hear from a Darius.
That is why a number of people from the old Allied Signal that worked with them, refuse to work for Garmin, whether asked to, or not. And some of it is about Gary (RIP), too.
Lol, I’m guessing that was probably longer ago than you remember.
I knew this awesome software engineer who was a born leader working at Allied Signal back in the early 2000’s.
Humble and skilled.
He would have been an awesome leader.
Oh yeah... he is now the CEO of GARMIN.
Way to go Cliff!
I wonder how many disgusted band 3 engineers are leaving to become the next “burning platform boogeyman”
If you want to be a great leader of an American corporation it helps if you have no conscience.
You know what I want in a great CEO? I want a leader that doesn’t buy into the fallacy that return to investors is the first and only objective of a company. I want a leader who doesn’t socialize risk (through furloughs, elimination of benefits, etc.) while privatizing reward (stock buybacks, executive bonuses, increasing dividends). Stockholder commitments are made by executives and the risk of not making those commitments should be borne by them, not the employees who had no voice in making them.
I almost stopped at “started as an engineer at General Electric”.
Glad I kept reading.
So reassuring to know that Darius has cleared his build nothing in the US or Europe strategy with Trump.
P.T. Barnum was also a great leader who mastered three businesses _or was that rings?__ Most of the time my job is more Barnum and less business.
Do you ever get flashes of your coworkers as Jugglers and elephants with the occasional tiger off in a cage being whipped.<
